On Tuesday, Donald Trump announced year-round sales of E-15 fuel. Kelly Stone, Senior Policy Analyst at ActionAid USA, said:

“This is an attempt to buy off farmers with a giveaway to big ethanol. More corn ethanol isn’t going to address the real challenges farmers are facing, or make up for the lack of a farm bill. It will continue to worsen the harm corn ethanol is doing to the environment. Our system of agriculture is broken. Instead of giving in to the demands of agribusiness and big corporations for more ethanol, we need to build a system that works for farmers, eaters and the planet.”
